National Apprenticeship Week 2010

4th of January, 2010

National Apprenticeship Week will take place from Monday 1 February to Friday 5 February 2010. The Week, which is organised and coordinated by the National Apprenticeship Service, will celebrate the talents and skills of apprentices from across the UK. It will see apprentices, employers, providers and wider stakeholders showcase the benefits of Apprenticeship programmes and the value apprentices bring to organisations they work for.

 

National and regional activities will be taking place throughout the Week and each day will have a different focus. Following the success of Apprenticeship Week 2009, activities this year will include agenda-setting media features, employer events, job swaps, breakfast briefings and apprentice challenges.

 

The main purpose of the Week is to engage employers with Apprenticeships by highlighting the advantages of employing and supporting apprentices in the workplace. The Week will also demonstrate the wide range of Apprenticeships available, including opportunities in the public sector.

 

 More information on Apprenticeship Week will be available soon at http://www.apprenticeships.org.uk.
